My 2 cents would say that's generally pretty accurate. However, fentanyl is incredibly cheap to make and it's not typically the manufacturers that do the cutting. That happens at the street level. A tablespoon of fentanyl could end up costing the dealer less than a tablespoon of baking soda an sometime large scale street dealers will "brand" their own product by adding some amphetamines, PCP, or even fentanyl so that their customers find their flavor of speedball and come back for that. Dealers will intentionally sell you speedballs. It's generally the buyer that doesn't know how to administer it "safely".
But I would say for most street dealers, they are receiving product that has already been stepped on and they try to become heisenberg or some shit and cut it again using a cheap substance that it's already been cut with. But yeah, fentanyl is cheap as dirt so the cost aspect of using it as cut kinda goes out the window.
